YEREVAN (YERKIR) - "Karabakh Conflict: Peace Prospects" conference
will be held on June 28 at the United States Peace Institute in
Washington. Nagorno Karabakh Republic National Assembly Speaker Ashot
Ghulian and Foreign Minister Georgi Petrosian will be the keynote
speakers at the conference.
As reported by the Radio Liberty, the conference is to discuss issues
as whether there still is time for signing a peace accord, what is
needed to bring the peace talks to a conclusion, how can the US help
the process as well as issues related to refugees.
"The visit was planned long before the recent events," Ghulian was
quoted by the radio station as saying. "We arrived in Washington
yesterday and only hours later met with OSCE Minsk Group's US co-chair
Mathew Bryza. The meeting was informative to us, we had a lot to say
to each other. I believe we succeeded to make the initial exchange
of information."
When asked to comment on Armenian Foreign Minister Oskanian's statement
that the Armenian and Azeri presidents have reached an agreement on
the Karabakh status referendum, Ghulian said, "I believe the Armenian
foreign minister's statement is more than explicit and there is no
need for further comments."
